Nyko’s wireless NES controller is now available for pre-order

The NES Classic is a great way to relive some of your favorite classic games, but one unfortunate shortcoming of the retro console is that it doesn’t include wireless controllers. The wired controller that Nintendo includes with the device certainly lives up to that retro feel, but the cord is annoyingly short for those with large living rooms.

Nyko has stepped up to the plate with the Miniboss, which is now available for pre-order from Amazon and Nyko’s own website. It’s worth noting that the Amazon version is $5 cheaper than the Nyko website, but stock there won’t be available until December 31st so if you need this one in time for Christmas, you might want to order directly from Nyko.

They’ve also made a cord that extends the original NES Classic controller since it’s so short. If you want to keep the retro feel of using a corded controller but wish it were longer, this is just the thing for you.
